Underwater Hotel

If you are willing to spend $15,000-per-person, per-week reservation fee, you may very well be one of the few people in 2008 to take a vacation in the world's first large scale underwater hotel. Bruce Jones, a renowned submarine architect is planning Poseidon Mystery Island Resort by sinking many habitation tube in the island Fiji. Here are a few pictures of what's to come:

Threadless

The internet opens up many opportunities for brilliant ideas and ventures.Whoever thought you would find a friend via a cold electronic machine? orElectronic sticky notes? The basic idea behind Threadless is members cansubmit their t-shirt designs and after votes, ratings etc Threadless willchoose a dozen every month to print! There are prizes and other incentivesto submit a t-shirt design, however having people buying your t-shirts isjust way cool.

Threadless is actually the very first t-shirt design community, there aremany spinoff from this idea and not just t-shirts either; NakedAndAngry is atie design spinoff, but I fine tie patterns limiting compare to thepossibilty of t-shirt designs.

Anyways today I just submitted my third design to Fast Food Nation LovesThreadless competition. Threadless has three or four additional competitionaround a central theme in additional to the ongoing general competition.

The theme of Fast Food Nation Loves Threadless is "Where Are You On The FastFood Chain?", but I think this is extremely hard to express and the resultmay not be suitable for a t-shirt. So, as you can see, I went with "FastFood Nation". What other nation in the world can claim the title other thanthe United States? Show your patriotism! Now if only I have some extracolors (Threadless only allows five) I will change the hamburger box into anactually hamburger...

For Fast Food Nation I have another idea of French Fries spelling out thewords American Fries with maybe a French Fry who has French mustache runningaway. The competition ends on the 15th, otherwise I surely would have submitthis design as well. These design requires so much detail and time (which isthe reason I only enter the Loves competition thus far so I don't have tothink up my own theme) anyone interested can submit the idea as long as theysend me a shirt if it goes to print...o wait, I'm not sure I would wear that:D

Here are some other awesome entries to Fast Food Nation Loves Threadless

OSX Security Updates

How many time have you talked with a Mac Lover over the argument that Macs are totally hackpoof and far more secure than Windows? I have nothing against Macs, in fact I may get one when OSX Leopard is released, but people please open your eyes. A Mac may be more secure than a PC, but being totally hackproof, having no-exploits, worms etc, that totally another matter.

Over the last week, Apple release 31 security updates with several other security still left unaddressed. Like windows, if you search the web, you can find many Mac exploits. However the difference between these vulnerbilities and Windows flaws is that they are all patched and no longer remain a threat until now with the above security holes. And don't forget, with the introduction of Boot Camp and dual booting Windows-OSX, Macs inheritted all the virus that plagues Windows.

I guess in the end, it all comes down to how you would like to be infected with a virus?

NASA Moon Base!!

Yesterday, Stephen Hawking wanting to explore the last frontier; today, NASA announced it plan of permanent human habitation on the moon. NASA prosped the moon base mission will start in 2020 with the help of over a dozen countries and corporations and probably finished by 2024.

It isn't the first time a moon base is been comtemplated. In the 1950s, the moon was Pentagon's military outpost in space and "moon-based military power will be a strong deterrent to war..." Later in the 1970s with the oil crisis, the moon is sought after as the source of electricty for earth with solar panels the size of football fields. It would interesting to see how things turns out this time.
